It's pretty vanilla actually. I changed the default mouse cursor to DMZhaloR because I have vision impairment and I sometimes have trouble finding the cursor. This one's the standard white DMZ cursor with the black outline but with a red halo effect added so it's easily visible against just about any background color. I also enabled XFCE compositor and changed the panel's background color to medium grey then changed its alpha channel to 24 to make it more transparent. I added and removed spacers between the panel items to suit me and tweaked the Orage clock's colors and font too. The wallpaper, my current favorite, is Brother's Point on the Isle of Skye in the Scottish Hebrides which I ganked from "contentsmaydiffer" on Tumblr. That grey vertical bar left of the clock is the Disk Performance Monitor item (because the hard drive activity LED on this computer's case doesn't work.) Yes, I prefer a horizontal panel on the bottom. I used to (brace yourself) support Windows 95 when it was first launched, and I'm old(ish) and have gotten used to the traditional Windows 95/98/2000/NT/Vista/7 layout.


Can you help me setting my panel background to transparent? I can't change 'alpha' as it is greyed out in settings.

Run MX Tweaks and enable a compositor. (It's in the manual.) :smile:

Wow, really nice. I like the looks of Compiz WM - and especially the quirky Uniform+ icons (a pity that the this icon theme is rather limited...)

The original uniform icons was limited. Uniform+ by ZMA is hugely expanded and very comprehensive.

Search for his version on pling. It comes in many variants. All of his icon versions are massive.

It is rather quirky though and some icons aren't very legible/recognisable.
